i have heard many good things about Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil. so i went to my local autoshop (kregan) to check it out. $5 for 1 quartz! is it really that expensive? am i getting ripped off? usually i just get valvoline 5 quartZ for $7. does mobil 1 really worth the $$ for performance and maintance?

btw anybody is running 10W-30? because usually i just get 5W-30 according to the nissan manual.

1) please post in the proper forum for these questions. Thanks.

2) you get what you pay for in oil. Unless you go with a proven dino like Castrol GTX.

For prices, try Costco.
